Today, Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Doug LaMalfa (CA-01) congratulated U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum on his confirmation.
 
“The confirmation of Secretary Doug Burgum is great news for rural America,” said Chairman LaMalfa. “Over the past four years, the Biden Administration was focused on taking away our ability to extract natural resources, locking away land from grazers, and ignoring water rights – all to the benefit of a small group of environmentalists living in cities. Under Secretary Burgum’s leadership, we can finally move away from ineffective and overbearing regulations that hurt our rural economies. Western Caucus will work with Secretary Burgum to unleash American energy, restore land and water rights, and lower costs for Americans.”
